Bear Encounters Shut Down Highway 40

Highway 40 in Kananaskis is shut down in sections after a grizzly bear charged a person—though no one was hurt, these “bluff charges” are escalating. Parks Canada is monitoring 18 bears, including moms with cubs, as snow pushes wildlife into valleys packed with hikers and bikers. The closure, likely to stay until spring, aims to give bears space and reduce encounters—so stay alert, carry bear spray, and keep your distance.
